Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho lays into Manchester City AGAIN over Yaya Toure incident

BAN: Mourinho says the FA should have given Yaya Toure a three game suspension for his kick at van Wolfswinkel [AFP]

The Ivorian kicked out at the Norwich striker in the 0-0 draw between the sides at the weekend, but an FA panel have ruled against banning the influential midfield star.

Mourinho, who recently commented City have been given a soft ride by the authorities this season, said before the FA's verdict came through that anything other than a three-game ban would be wrong.

He said: “If he's not suspended, the message is clear - the players can do what they want if the referee doesn't see.

“If he's not suspended, the message is clear - the players can do what they want if the referee doesn't see”

“If there's no suspension, the message is normally that, if the FA defends football, he'd have to be suspended.

“Of course (I would be disappointed if he got off), or it's the same for everyone: if the referee doesn't see, I can do whatever.

“It doesn't matter about cameras or others seeing. I can do whatever I want.”

City were desperate not to lose Toure for three maches as they look to get their Premier League title bid back on track after their recent defeat to Chelsea and Saturday's goalless draw with the Canaries.
